Some of you may remember USA? He also attended several TAMs, where he was a valued volunteer as well as proudlly wearing a skepchick security tshirt.

For those of you that want to know what he's been working on, skeptically at least, scroll down to read his article on education!

Good work USA!

Hey that's a great article. But I kinda liked that write up about the Health Freedom Expo. "Dolphin Breath"? Hmmmm, I think I'd rather try "Dog breath".
And that bit about cancer patients having polonium in their blood due to laundry grade bleach in the water supply was a hoot. Other than regular natural sources of polonium from environmental Ra-226/Rn-222 decay there's polonium to be found in cigarette smoke and TV screens. Good argument to not smoke or watch TV...well to not smoke at least.....

Assuming you ever put out a new issue of SR (hint hint).

I vaguely recall that SkepticReport used to be monthly... whatever happened to that?

I remember those days. When birds sang and people could leave their doors unlocked at night.....

I laughed out loud when I read:

"Clark explained that many municipal water treatment plants used laundry-grade bleach instead of food-grade bleach, and the polonium was present in the bleach used to purify drinking water, and thus stayed in the water"

And she's practicing her voodoo in Tijuana, Mexico??!! Ever drink the water there??
Does the Mini FG detect Montezuma's Revenge? :eye-poppi

Hilarious!

Oh great article! I'm going back to finish reading. Thanks for posting it.
